Explanation
Certain vehicles must make full stops at all railroad crossings - including hazardous material carriers, passenger-carrying transit buses, and school buses (whether empty or transporting students). When following these vehicles, always be prepared to stop. For maximum safety: Never pass stopped vehicles on two-lane roads. On multi-lane roads, only consider passing with extreme caution when the crossing has active warning signals (lights/gates) clearly indicating no approaching train, and only if you have a completely unobstructed view of the tracks.
